Keyworker teams help NHS by rehousing doctor

Despite the challenging times we all faced in relation to delivering services during the pandemic, Swan’s Keyworker teams ensured that our NHS staff were able to continue their important work of fighting the pandemic, with very limited resources and while isolating from their loved ones.

A doctor, already in a Keyworker Living property, needed to move to a larger property and Keyworker Living was able to offer this as a transfer just before the Christmas holiday season. This was during the pandemic and cases were rising in the hospital, so leave was almost impossible for the doctor.

Derek, the maintenance officer, liaised with the doctor every day and made sure that all repairs and redecoration were completed and assisted with the move helping with heavy items. The doctor was able to continue working with no interruption with her shifts and her father was able to join her so she could care for him during his illness.
